Babies are expensive

Holy crap. We got the bill for Miles’s birth and surrounding activities, and little dude cost almost $15k, and he had a pretty uncomplicated birth. I don’t even think that includes the additional days he was in for the bilirubins treatment. Fortunately, insurance pays for most of it, though we do owe a small percentage that doesn’t seem so small when it all maths out. Dang, yo. I guess it’s a drop in the bucket compared to, say, college.

Still, as Denny pointed out, a homebirth would certainly be appealing if you didn’t have insurance.
